Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo Intervenes in UCH Doctors Strike
The doctors said former President Olusegun Obasanjo had brokered a truce between the association and the UCH management.
Six hundred and seventy doctors in the hospital, under the auspices of the National Association of Resident Doctors, have been on strike since May 1 to protest against the non-implementation of a circular reportedly issued by the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation.
The circular dwells on the doctor's’ welfare and promotion.
Late on Friday, however, the doctors called off the strike, explaining that Obasanjo and the Central Council of Ibadan Indigenes had resolved the disagreement, necessitating the suspension of the strike for the sake of the suffering patients.
UCH-ARD President, Dr. Lukman Ogunjinmi, said work would resume immediately in the hospital.
He said, “Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, elders in the health sector and CCII elders have intervened in the crisis and work will resume for the sake of the suffering patients".
